Polyglycerols

INOVYN is the world-leader in the production and marketing of vegetable based high purity polyglycerols (diglycerol, polyglycerol-3 and polyglycerol-4).

These products are used in their native state or are transformed into derivatives by our customers within industries as varied as food; personal care; pharmaceuticals; and plastics.

Continuous research and development carried out by INOVYN has led to a new generation of polyglycerols, with consistently high purity and unique properties.

Diglycerol

INOVYN diglycerol is a clear, colorless, odourless and viscous liquid. It has a higher molecular weight that glycerol and is less volatile. It is water soluble and can be combined with aqueous systems.

Identification

REACH registration number: 01-2119941694-30-0000 (Oxybispropanediol)

INCI name: Diglycerin

CAS number: 59113-36-9

EC number (EINECS): 261-605-5

Molecular formula: C6H14O5

Molecular weight: 166.17 g/mol

Composition

INOVYN diglycerol is a mono-substance (minimum 90% purity) with a very narrow oligomer distribution. The remainder of the product is mainly a combination of glycerol and triglycerol.

Key Applications

INOVYN polyglycerols can be used as such or after conversion to a variety of derivatives, including fatty acid esters that are used as multifunctional additives in food, cosmetic and industrial applications.

Food

Esters made of INOVYN polyglycerols are non-ionic surfactants that are allowed for food use in many countries. In addition to the stabilisation of emulsions, foams and dispersions, polyglycerol esters can act as aerating agents; dough strengtheners; rheology modifiers; crystal modifiers; anti-spattering agents; beverage clouding agents; humectants; solubilisers; or fat substitutes.

Esters made of INOVYN polyglycerols have been used as food additives for many years. From a legal perspective, food grade polyglycerol esters are divided in two classes: polyglycerol esters of edible fatty acids (E-number: E475, also known as “PGFA”) and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (E-number: E476, also known as “PGPR”).

Cake emulsifiers are extensively used to produce low-fat cakes with improved texture, flavour and shelf-life. They also reduce production costs by allowing an “all-in-one” ingredients mixing process, leading to reduced labour and mixing time. Polyglycerol esters are preferred emulsifiers in baked products due to a variety of properties including enhanced volume and shelf-life of yeast dough. They can also act as whipping emulsifiers with improved texture, water binding and taste in fine baked goods.

One of the main applications of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) is the adjustment of the rheological properties of chocolate. It is especially important for chocolate coatings to flow properly during the enrobing process. This can be achieved by the addition of PGPR, which improves the flow characteristics of molten chocolate.

Cosmetics

Esters made of INOVYN polyglycerols are non-ionic surfactants that have been used for many years as emulsifiers in various cosmetic and personal care products. Many esters can be included as excipients in OTC (Over the Counter) topical drugs such as antibacterial creams and antidandruff shampoos. They function as emulsifiers, dispersants, solubilisers, thickeners, emollients, conditioners and spreading agents. They can also replace some hydrotropes and pearlescent agents. Due to the innocuous nature of these products, formulators continue to develop technologies that incorporate INOVYN polyglycerols and their esters in a widening array of applications.

INOVYN diglycerol has been incorporated in personal care products in Japan since the 1990s. It is a mild humectant, provides gloss to hair and can enhance fragrance/flavour impact and longevity. It also provides advantages in formulation design.

An important attribute of esters made of INOVYN polyglycerols is the possibility of producing tailor-made emulsifiers with the desired hydrophile/lipophile balance (HLB) by appropriate selection of the type of fatty acid and polyglycerol, their ratio, and manufacturing conditions. Depending on their HLB, polyglycerol esters can act as W/O emulsifiers, O/W co-emulsifiers or O/W emulsifiers.

Industrial applications

INOVYN polyglycerols and their derivatives can be used in various industrial applications, where there is an increasing need for safer and more ecological additives. Applications include:

- polymer additives such as antifogging and antistatic agents, lubricants, or plasticisers

Their biodegradability and their acceptance for food use in many countries make them particularly suitable for applications such as lubrication of food equipment; formulation of agrochemicals; or incorporation in films for food packaging and agriculture.

Polyglycerol-3

INOVYN polyglycerol-3 is a clear, slightly yellowish, odourless, viscous liquid. It has a higher molecular weight that diglycerol and is less volatile and hygroscopic. It is water soluble and can be combined with aqueous systems.

Identification

REACH registration number: 01-2119488225-33-0000

INCI name: Polyglycerin-3

CAS number: 25618‐55‐7

EC number (EINECS): 915‐741‐3

Molecular weight: approximatively 250 g/mol

Composition

INOVYN polyglycerol-3 is characterised by a very narrow oligomer distribution centered on triglycerol. It contains a minimum 85% diglycerol, triglycerol and tetraglycerol with only trace amounts of glycerol.

Key Applications

INOVYN polyglycerols can be used as such or after conversion to a variety of derivatives, including fatty acid esters that are used as multifunctional additives in food, cosmetic and industrial applications.
